Re: No real fun anymore
Tom, I agree with you. Don't shoot the messenger (me or Tom), but it is a problem here more than anywhere else I play. The only worse place was a 24/7 Mashtuur server where bitchifying one side and spawn camping had been elevated to an art form.
I just vote with my mouse and play somewhere else. After I switch to the losing side on TTP (check out my win/loss ratio) for a few rounds with no improvement, I leave, along with others.
There are lots of good guys on the TTP servers (the vast majority are good people) but I see them disconnecting too after a while of buttkicking, locked squads, etc. etc.
I don't know what the solution is for BF2 on TTP - I'll keep trying, and keep coming back because you guys and girls are the best to play with/against... but the stacking is a problem.
Maybe randomize the teams every few maps? I'd be OK with that. I think we had a hacker doing that for us not too long ago - I played Daqing over and over one night.....crashes....different thread...I know.

Re: No real fun anymore
Tonight we went through a streak where we were getting out asses handed to us. People were saying it was stacked. We had 5 squads with only one person. I don't remember the names, but they were all regulars who I see SL sometimes.

I don't believe for a minute that team stacking happens more here than other places.

Re: No real fun anymore
I don't think it happens here any more than anywhere else either... What I *have* begun doing lately is when we are getting that smackdown, I check the airfields. And SOMETIMES, not all, there's a bunch of people hanging around doing nothing. I noticed a 3 star general standing in the hanger for a full five minutes on clean-sweep recently whilst I was defending airfield. Some other time it's squad leaders that are inexperienced and commandeering a tank or air asset and their squad can't spawn on them... Or squad leaders that don't care to actually lead their squad... There's a ton of reasons why it can seem lopsided without it actually being team-stacking.
I was all-but-ready to decide that it was the air maps that were the worst when I took an ass whuppin for about 6 rounds when karkand rotated in... lo-and-behond the ass whuppin stopped. We still lost but it was close. And I was all "AHA!!!" until the next round where we once again got an ass whuppin. Lt Dan returned to kickin my ass... My head once again became a magnet for random pieces of lead (I KNOW lead isn't magnetic... it amazes me as well!!) And I think I cried just a little bit.
Bottom line for me is... Kill people. Cap flags. And do your job. It's hard not to get discouraged now and then, but you do get to be on the other end of the stick now and then.

Re: No real fun anymore
When I enter the server first thing I do is hit the TAB and see who is playing and on what side. Although I do have a regular group that I mainly squad with, if they are on the other side and the teams are not balanced, I will usually wait till they are some what balanced before considering team switching. Some times I will switch even if they are not balanced only because I am not a high point scoring player, so by me switching it does not make to much of a difference. Atleast the server hosting squad does not have a rule that only hosting squad can fly the planes and helo's and boot you if you dont give it up.

Re: No real fun anymore
epic hilariousness tonight
So we have squad bug and the server restarts. After the server restarts all the officers switch over to one side so its 15 officers vs 14 non officers and (4)manno. So ofcourse they rape the carrier, and while people question them, they tell them to stop crying. (btw guys, this is a great way to get people to keep coming back. Keep it up, obviously you havent pissed enough people off). So my team gets no flag and everyone is base raped on the carrier, which you cant get off.
GG guys! Way to keep TTP number one in not making people want to come back!
PS: I couldnt give less of a shit, i just thought it was funny. I enjoyed getting you guys worked up. lol

Re: No real fun anymore
The perception of stackage usually occurs when one side has (much) more high profile regs than the other. They will steamroll over the other side by solid squadwork, superior airpower and of course, leet skills.
My view is that this happens less now than before, and changes quicker than before. And the reason for this is awareness among the regs. We all know enjoyment goes down the drain when you lose by 200 tickets every damn round for hours. And that in turns makes the server less attractive, and none of us want that. So we take responsibility. Maybe not the first round, but after a couple of rounds, people start to move, and we get the good games again.
Without threads like this one, and even the really ugly ones, that awareness would not be present. So every one of those threads have served a purpose. And they have, imo, made things better.
Hate these threads all you want. But since I came here, there have never been more regs switching to the losing side than right now. It's never going to be perfect, but it doesn't have to. As long as we all take responsibility for "our" server and the quality of gameplay for all 60 of us, this server will remain the best.
But yeah, teach the noobs and make them regs too, and it is legal to just reply "baseraping is legal on this server" when a new guy throws a tantrum on the carrier.For when the One Great Scorer comes, to write against your name, he writes not that you won or lost, but how you played the Game
